The correct response is:

decreased following World War I due to a diminishing trade with Europe because of the war.

After World War I, many South American countries faced economic challenges due to the decrease in demand for their exports, particularly agricultural products and raw materials that had been in high demand during the war. The subsequent economic downturn in Europe affected trade relations, leading to reduced economic prosperity in South America.
